fascinating. anybody know what you would call (for googling purposes) the JADE cut shoe, if it was plain black leather, also lace-up top, with a plain heel about the same height? looks SO close to the funny little shoes my farm/ranch grandma used to wear, all the years I ever noticed them! they were her every-day, working in the farmyard shoes (slopping pigs, picking eggs, milking, etc, etc)
she was quite short (around 5-foot or slightly less? and Grandad was at least 6-foot!), and had a very shapely ankle and calf, even if her torso was a matronly fire-plug. boy do I remember those shoes. the period I remember them from would have been ca. 1950-75??? she was born ca. 1900. they were probably a catalog item... thanks, just in case! chimene On Oct 29, 2011, at 11:18 AM, Lavolta Press wrote: > http://www.sinistersoles.com/Metropolis-Shoes-JADE-Steampunk-Shoes-p/s-metropolis-jade-shoes-brz.htm > > http://www.sinistersoles.com/Metropolis-Shoes-VINTAGE-Steampunk-Boots-p/s-metropolis-vintage-boots-b.htm > > Fran > Lavolta Press > Books on making historic clothing > www.lavoltapress.com > www.steampunk.com/LavoltaPress > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
